Tyrol Grey

The females grow up to their full size within three years and reach a weight of 550 – 600 kg.

The milk has an excellent quality and is adequate either for the direct consumption or for the processing to high-quality products (cheese, butter, yogurt).

Among the mountain cattle breeds in Italy the Tyrol Grey has the best milk amount/milk quality (fat, protein) ratio and delivers a higher amount of contents for the processing to quality products.

When you evaluate the performance you have to allow for the middle body weight and the tough feeding and husbandry conditions in mountain regions.

Furthermore it is the purpose to conserve the typical functional attributes of the breed: middle body height, robust constitution, correct fundament, hard claws, hardiness, mountain pasture competence, good fertility, easy calving, udder quality and good milkability.
